Uncover the history of Prince Orpheus in Baldur's Gate 3! Find clues in the Arcane Tower, Githyanki Creche, and Moonrise Towers with our step-by-step walkthrough.
Alright, let's dive into uncovering the history of Prince Orpheus in Baldur's Gate 3. This quest involves finding a few key pieces of information scattered across the world. Don't worry, I'll walk you through exactly where to look!
Walkthrough
- 1Arcane Tower Clue: Head to the Underdark and find the Arcane Tower. Once you're on the fourth floor (the one with the beds), look around the central elevator area. You'll find a Githyanki disc on one of the tables. This holds the first piece of the puzzle.
- 2Githyanki Creche Clue: Next, make your way to the Githyanki Creche in the Mountain Pass. Inside the classroom area, where the Githyanki train, you'll find a soldier who has a device on them. You have a couple of options here: you can try to persuade the soldier to give it to you, or if that doesn't work or you prefer, you can defeat them and loot their body. Important Note: If you save the Gith kid in the barracks and let them run off, they might disappear. So, be sure to either get the item through persuasion or by looting the soldier after they've been dealt with.
- 3Moonrise Towers Clue: This clue is found in Act 2. When you reach Moonrise Towers (it doesn't matter how you get there, whether it's the Spider's Lyre route or sneaking in), head up the main stairway. You'll need to sneak past the patrolling eyeball near the library area to access a locked door leading to Balthazar's room. Inside, check the right-hand wall; you'll find another Githyanki disc on a shelf. If you have Lae'Zel in your party, she can translate a special message written in Githyanki on this disc.
Once you've collected all these clues, you'll have completed the 'Discover the History of Prince Orpheus' quest. This sets you up nicely for the follow-up quest in Act 3, where you'll be tasked with rescuing Prince Orpheus himself!
Tips
- Make sure you have a character who can sneak effectively for the Moonrise Towers section to avoid the eyeball patrols.
- If you're struggling with persuasion checks, consider using a character with high Charisma or using a scroll of Charm Person.
- Lae'Zel's Githyanki translation ability is super useful here, so try to keep her in your party if possible.
